Was SS actually the answer?

Now, mercia

I really don't think it should be me - everyone else did the hard work
we haven't had so many joining in for a long time!
I bet Mr Norfolk has a lovely T waiting to be unleashed

I remain completely lorst...

Was there any musical elephant in this clue or answer, or am I (probably) missing something?

There was a reference somewhere along the way to an opera by Eotvos (yes, him).
'T' will be served shortly!

If it was Six Sisters - then going back to Margaret Drabble - she wrote a book The Seven Sisters Edit: Did Star Trek have a Sister Ship?

Which 'T' links the following: Paris (1737), Vienna (1786) and London (1889)?
All elements are musical!

apologies for going after the Sewells

Don't be sorry - The most lasting impression from this one has been Brian Sewell dressed as a nun.

There's a character called Pavel Chekov in Star Trek. Anton Chekhov's father was Pavel Chekhov. Does this mean that I've misunderstood the Star Trek reference?

I think you've seen a fundamental flaw in the whole integrity of the question, which no-one has chosen to notice.

But no matter, it was good fun. I felt we were all stamping around the area until eventually we had to have killed the thing whatever it was and whereever it was.

Easy then, having looked on a map. A triangle!

Many thanks, DP, but in defence of the spelling of Chekhov (as opposed to Chekov), I have an early 20th C edition of his plays translated into English which gives his name as "Tschekow". Just as "Tschjaikowski" has gradually settled into "Tchaikovsky", I presume that, in future in which Star Trek is set, "Chekhov" will have lost the second "h".

(That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Best Wises.

And to you!

This useful device could henceforth become know as 'Ferney's Gambit' or 'The Star Trek Escape', in which anything could have transmuted into anything else.

Fame at last!

Certainly AN answer, but not quite the one I had in mind!
I'll wait awhile before offering any clues....

Paris (1737)

not too proud to show my ignorance, anything to do with Rameau?
